My 62 is pretty much rust free. I did a good wash today and found a nice section of rust forming on the lower drivers side, right below the windshield. I cut a section of the gasket and found I really should have it repaired correctly. I need to come up with a quick fix for now so I can go wheelin next weekend. Ive had some work done on other cars at other places, and I was very unhappy with them. Here is the damage and any suggestions for a temp fix?

Thinking of getting what I can clean, some rust converter to cover it, then fill the area with RTV, hopefully get it fixed right soon.
 
Careful, if you start picking at that you will not be on the trail next weekend, you'll be pulling your dashboard and shopping for a new windshield gasket... Let it be this week, spray some ATF, or rust prep stuff and forget it for now.

Im going to have to make some sort of temporary seal/gasket where the seal once was or Ill just have water pouring in that hole.

Probably the best thing. Just bridge over it with some electrical tape after that and then you should be temporarily good to go.
 
Duct tape is the correct answer. If you use RTV, who ever has to fix it won't be happy.
 
I have not found a body shop yet that enjoys fixing RUST!

Most of them are all about collision repair and not restoration...

Andy is right especially in lancaster. Had a rust issue on a work truck last year and eventually found a shop. Eby & Son off Columbia ave. behind midas on the west end of lancaster. They did a decent job not show room work but solid and very reasonable pricing.
